Tiny bubbles in silicone print.
« on: June 03, 2016, 12:36:34 PM »
Received a strikeoff, simple silicone print. Lots of tiny gas bubbles throughout.

Anybody have enough experience with silicone to give me some tips on how the shop can apply the silicone without getting gas bubbles?

Thanks and have a nice weekend.
